Great pizza and beer. I was about to give a 1-star review based on the typically childish attitude of pizza places these days whereby pineapple is banned. But the service was really brilliant so I’ll let the fruit thing slide.
September 2024
Good variety of dishes, fair prices, excellent service. Fair parking lot though it gets very busy with the shops around it. No wait at all on a summer Tuesday evening. Garic knots are cheap and plentiful, the pizza was crispy and a personal is a great size, and my lemon artichoke chicken was fantastic. We enjoyed our dinner here very much!
August 2024
We hadn't been to eat at the restaurant in awhile. Mostly do take out. Fried sweet and spicy calamari were quite tasty. Had a cheese pizza and tried the gf pasta with pesto. It was very good. Cheese pizza was very good as usual.
